Smolderweb Hatchling and Worg Pup Companions Re-added in 4.0.6!

Great news for companion pet collectors! Some of you may have noticed that some new versions of the old Lower Blackrock Spire quest reward pets Worg Pup and Smolderweb Hatchling showed up in one of the 4.0.6 PTR builds. However, Blizzard made no note of these items being made available in their patch notes (or anywhere else, for that matter).

Many players who never completed En-Ay-Es-Tee-Why or Kibler's Exotic Pets were disappointed to find that these quest (and the pet rewards) were removed with Cataclysm. My druid, a Bloodsail Admiral, was unable to speak to the goblin NPC and therefore was missing the spider pet herself - until now!

It appears that these "new" companion pets were indeed added in 4.0.6!

Does anyone know if you already obtained the original "Worg Pup" and the "Smolderweb Hatchling", if you could also get the "Worg carrier" and "Smolderweb Egg", totaling four pets... or if the new ones overrode the old ones?

Thanks

No, they are the same items you got from the quest, they just get a new name once you learn them.

Same pets. You can't use the new ones if you already know the companions (in my screenshots, the ones that are "already known" are the old quest ones).

Nice. Too bad it's a drop, though. You could be running multiple times in order to get them. With the quests, it was pretty much guaranteed you'd get them... the spider eggs respawn and the pups are numerous enough that everyone in a five person group could get one.

Poor decision making got nerfed again. Killing more of the same mob will just grant you anything in this game. Meggie and the Sprite Darters say: may Deathwing bless you and your offspring to die in a fire.

Are this on a 100% drop chance? Because I got both on my first run and I wanted to know...

I got mine first try aswell, both of them..I think if not 100%, its very close to 100% so its really not that badly nerfed if even nerfed at all!
